Hook and Ladder

One of the main features of the tiller-truck is its enhanced maneuverability.^[13] The independent steering of the front and back wheels allow the tiller to make much sharper turns, which is particularly helpful on narrow streets and in apartment complexes with maze-like roads.^[12] An additional feature of the tiller-truck is that its overall length, over 50 feet (15 m) for most models, allows for additional storage of tools and equipment.^[13] The extreme length gives compartment capacities that range between 500 and 650 cubic feet (14 and 18 m³) in the trailer with an additional 40 and 60 cubic feet (1.1 and 1.7 m³) in the cab.^[13]
